SHUTDOWN
When you are done cooking the dial must be turned to the
Shutdown setting. The digital readout will display “SDOWN”. In
this setting the fan will remain on for 10 minutes to finish burning
any pellets in the burner and cool the grill down. After 10 minutes
the digital readout and auger will turn off. At this point the main
power switch should be switched to off.
BYPASS MODE
The bypass may be used if there is a power failure, or the grill is
accidentally turned off, or anytime you need to restart the grill
and it is still hot. The bypass mode should only be used if the
grill has been off less than 3-4 minutes. This method is used to
bypass the normal startup mode and get the grill cooking again
quickly. The burner must still be hot enough to ignite new pellets
or this method will not work. In order to initiate the bypass mode
you must first select the cook setting you want. At this point
the digital readout will display “START”. Simply press the green
bypass button in and hold it for 3 seconds. The digital readout
will display “BPASS”. Release the green button and the grill will
go into the cook mode and the digital readout will display the grill
temperature. If the grill fails to ignite using the bypass mode then
restart the grill using the normal startup procedures.
MEAT PROBE
This grill has a built in meat probe to measure the temperature
of the food as it is being cooked. To use this probe insert the wire
through the stainless flap on the side of the firebox. Insert the
probe into the food. Plug the connector into the receptacle on the
front of the control panel. When you press the green probe temp
button on the front of the controller the digital readout will display
the food temperature. Press the button a second time to toggle
the display back to the cooking temperature. If the probe is not
installed correctly or there is an error with the probe the digital
readout will display “PRERR” when the probe temp button is
pressed. When running the probe wire to the food make sure it is
positioned out of direct contact with any open flame or damage
may occur. The digital readout will display a “P” in front of the
number when displaying the meat probe temperature.
Example: “P155F”
CLEANING
Clean grates using a wire grill brush. This should be done with
each use. DO NOT use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaners on the
painted grill surfaces. Use warm soapy water on all painted
surfaces. Clean grease pan, grease trough, and grease drain tube
occasionally. A spatula can be used to scrape excess grease and
a grill brush to brush clean. Do not allow grease to build up on the
grease tray or in the grease trough as this can cause flare-ups
inside the grill. The grease tray can also be lined with aluminum
foil for easier cleanup. Make sure not to obstruct the flow of
grease off of the tray and into the grease trough. Make sure not to
block the airflow to the temperature sensor on the left side of
the grill.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other
organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cook oven
chimney of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the chimney. When ignited, this creosote makes
an extremely hot fire. The chimney should be inspected at least
twice a year to determine when grease and or creosote buildup
has occurred. When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should
be removed to reduce risk of fire. Use a wire brush to clean the
screen area of the chimney outlet on the inside of the grill with
every 50 hours of use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
GRILL DOES NOT TURN ON.
Grill fails to turn on after switching the power button to the
on position.
1. Make sure the grill is plugged into a powered outlet. Check
the circuit breaker and/or GFCI switch. Test the outlet using
another appliance.
2. Unplug the grill and check the fuse located in the front panel. If
the fuse is blown replace only with 5.0 Amp 250V 5x20mm Slow
Blow Fuse. Typical fuse marking will be T5AL250V. Make sure to
confirm they are a slow blow fuse. Actual fuse dimensions are
5.2x20mm.
If problem cannot be resolved please call customer service.
GRILL DOES NOT HEAT UP OR DIGITAL READOUT DISPLAYS FLAME
1. Turn Power Off
2. Check hopper for pellets
3. Check firebox to see if there are pellets in the firebox. The
easiest way to do this is to pull the burner clean-out lever.
Then remove the cup from the bottom of the grill and check for
pellets. Use a vacuum to clean-out any pellets that may be in
the bottom of the grill.
A. If there are a lot of pellets in the cup. Reinstall the cup and
close the burner clean-out, remove the grill grates, grease tray,
and heat deflector and vacuum out any pellets in the bottom of
the grill. Try restarting the grill. If restarting the grill does not
work and pellets are getting to the burner cup the heating rod
may need to be replaced.
B. If there are few or no pellets in the cup then turn the dial to the
feed position and see if pellets fall out the bottom of the burner.
